โSay what you will about serial killers, some of them can really write.โ Some books have money written all over them. Not just books by authors like the Death Row inmate at the Arizona State prison complex, but books like Recreational Explosives and How to Build Them. Or Finding Your Patriot Ances

โฆ Synopsis
While running surveillance in an industrial section of Scottsdale, P.I. Lena Jones discovers the body of a woman connected to Second Zion, an infamous polygamy cult based in northern Arizona. With the help of a former polygamist โsister wife,โ Lena soon discovers a shocking secret: in a society where one man can have ten wives, nine men will have none. Second Zion makes certain these possible rivals donโt stick around by turning these young teens into Arizonaโs โlost boys.โ
While searching for the dead womanโs lost son, Lena is surprised by a visit from Madeline, the beloved foster mother from whom sheโd been forcibly parted at the age of nine. Madelineโs presence renews Lenaโs memories of her own damaged childhood and brings new clues to the identity of her biological parents, who seemingly abandoned her when she was four years old.
But their joyful reunion is interrupted when Lena learns that her close friend, television star Angel Grey, is being stalked by an increasingly violent mental patient. When Lena flies to Angelโs aid, she finds that danger has followed her to Hollywood.
Arizona polygamy and its discarded sons, the deceptively insulated world of Beverly Hills, and Lenaโs lost past converge in a case fraught with danger.
